Connect Cursor

One click opens Cursor with Gadwal ready to add.

Before you start

  1. Open Gadwal and choose Gadwal › Settings (⌘,), then the AI & MCP tab.
  2. Turn on MCP server. The Address line shows http://127.0.0.1:55183/mcp (you can change the port below it). The server only listens on this Mac.
  3. Check each connection's AI level in its connection settings: Off, Read-only, Ask before write or Full. Production connections start at Read-only. The AI only sees connections that aren't Off.

AI tools need an active trial or the lifetime unlock. On the free tier the server answers every tool call with a message saying so.

Install

  1. In Settings › AI & MCP › Connect AI, click Install on the Cursor row.
  2. Gadwal creates a token and opens Cursor with an install link. Cursor shows the gadwal server with its URL and header.
  3. Confirm in Cursor. Cursor writes the server into ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
  4. In Cursor’s MCP settings, check that gadwal is enabled, then ask the agent about your data.

What Cursor saves

The entry in ~/.cursor/mcp.json looks like this:

"gadwal": {
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:55183/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token>" }
}

If you click Install again later, the button reads Reinstall and sends the current token.
